Hello,
I've installed Rage Kernel v3.0 just to have cifs support. It works like a harm except of special characters in folder/file names are not displayed and thus I have no access to those resources. I know I need nls_utf8.ko module but don't know where to find it for my kernel. Maybe I can use module form other kernels but I'm not sure of that so I'm asking here. Or maybe it's compiled into my kernel but I don't know how to enable it. I hope someone will give me good directions to solve this problem.

I have a Garminfone and have done a lot of Rom hacking with it so far, enough that I want to port cyanogen to it now. In the config.gz file there are references to Garmin specific items... how do I go about figuring what is included in the kernel and if the stock one might work with the right config settings. I know that they load a few ko modules at boot, but I don't know the requirements for when they must release kernel sources and what to do with it if they do.
I know they have released some in the past for the a10 but not the a50, and none for the 2.1 build.
I do know that they use the 2.6.29 kernel so is there a chance that I could use the current kernel with froyo?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
I'm currently using erickwill's EWJet rom, he switched to a different kernel and I want to install openvpn to it. The problem is I have the tun.ko from the stock kernel and when I try to do insmod it said I need a module that uses .o format like tun.o. I tried to do without the tun.ko but there was an error, unable to dynamically allocate TUN/TAP... something like that. I forgot because I switched back to the old rom. If there's an already compiled version of the tun module for the new kernel please show me the link because I've tried to search and couldn't find a new one. Please provide me the new tun module for the FreeKernel mod 3.50. thanks
pm jimbo..he can do the math
Hi everyone,
The forum didn't let me post in the relevant thread, so I hope I'll get noticed here.
For starters, I've successfully built and used additional modules with pershoot's kernel so I have the basics down.
Next, I'd like to use oprofile, unfortunately oprofile can't be loaded as a module unless the kernel is rebuilt with profiling enabled. Inspired by this tutorial I built a full kernel, grabbed boot-cm_2636.4_ux-oc-xtra-vfpv3-d16_fp-091311.zip and replaced zImage, dhd.ko and scsi_wait_scan.ko in the zip and flashed it with CWM.
Unfortunately it doesn't work, when booting the tab shows the logo and padlock, there it gets stuck and nothing more happens. Using the original kernel config without any changes doesn't help either.
The procedure I used to build the kernel (using codesourcery 2010.09) is in short:
git clone git://github.com/pershoot/galaxy-2636.git
make pershoot_samsung_p4wifi-ux_defconfig
make -j8 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
Kernel modules from the build can be insmoded and used on the device. Any suggestions on how to get the entire custom built kernel up and running is greatly appreciated.

OPROFILE is already enabled in this kernel:
grep OPROFILE arch/arm/configs/pershoot_samsung_p*
arch/arm/configs/pershoot_samsung_p3_defconfig:CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y
arch/arm/configs/pershoot_samsung_p4lte_defconfig:CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y
arch/arm/configs/pershoot_samsung_p4-ux_defconfig:CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y
arch/arm/configs/pershoot_samsung_p4wifi_defconfig:CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y
arch/arm/configs/pershoot_samsung_p4wifi-ux_defconfig:CONFIG_HAVE_OPROFILE=y
Hi pershoot,
Tanks for your reply. That option doesn't enable oprofile, I have no idea what it does. This can easily be verified with "grep oprofilefs /proc/filesystems" on the tab, it comes up blank when running your kernel.
To enable it for real, add the following to the config:
CONFIG_PROFILING=y
CONFIG_OPROFILE=y (or m)
If you could do this in your kernel builds it would be awesome!
Otherwise, I'd really appreciate it if you can give some instructions or point me to a tutorial on how to make my own kernel.

i will enable profiling in the next update.

Thanks a million!
In the mean time I'll be off on the next adventure, finding or building the user-space oprofile tools.

Did we just get a second kernel dev! Hooray GT10 developers!
Feature request: I'd like the next kernel to "pop" and taste great smothered in butter.
Hello! I just recently got a brand new MyTouch4GSlide ($5 from t-mobile xD) Anyhow since the lack of development going on for this phone I decided to join in and do my part... My original plan was to create a simple CM7 Kernel with support for UV and OC + Smartass... I have successfully in the past week set up my ubuntu virtual machine, kernel source, kitchen (boot.img extract/compile), voltage table & have successfully compiled a custom working kernel for my device, but i just need a bit of help.... I have 3 specific questions wich hopefully someone will be able to answer so I may get better with developing and continue developing in the future...
1) Adding new frequencies to the kernel
-I have created my voltage table and have added it to the file acpuclock-8x60.c (Which is corresponding to my device) located in /arch/arm/mach-msm O have also disabled the performance lock in the .config file using the make menuconfig command but when I compile the kernel and flash it setcpu does not recognize the frequencies... Did I not edit the correct file? Am I missing a lock placed by HTC somewhere else?
2) Adding Smartass
-I have found 1 source for the smartass module but whenever I try to compile the module I get #define OFS_KALLSYMS_LOOKUP_NAME 0xc009684c // kallsyms_lookup_name any reason why this is? am I using the wrong source? is there an easier way?
3) WiFi Module
-Whenever I compile my kernel the WiFi does not turn on... Probably because I have not compiled a Wifi module -_- but how can I compile a WiFi module? do I use the same source as the kernel? how would I go about doing this? how do I pack it with the boot.img?
Thats all for now... I shall edit this if I have more questions... I shall constantly be checking this thread hoping for some responses... I am eager to get this working!
Thanks in advanced! ~GiGoO
P.S. If you want you may add me on Skype if you would like to help me with this xD (robster105)

Hey Rob, I wish you the best of luck and don't give up!
The one thing I can say is when I was compiling my own kernels a while back and when I was trying to do the exact same thing and add different frequencies, if I remember correctly, there is a couple files that need to be changed, not just one, but don't quote me on that
I would also try getting help from other phone developers too. Post in the Q&A section of the phones, you might get more help that way.
Other then that good luck!

Hi all,
Googy decided to create a new kernel with the dual boot feature, sure you know.
As the title says, I'm interested in adapting a script a guy made for siyah kernel. It allowed to use the same apps in both roms. Here is the link to that thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32662356
I've tried it but it doesn't work, I guess it must be adapted to the Googy kernel. Maybe the folders location have changed and also Android 4.2.2 has its problems because of the multiuser feature.
I would do it myself but I'm not so expert at all of this. I thought someone would be interested as well and is able to make the script work.
So, to sum up, it would be awesome if somebody could adapt the script and then we will be able again to share apps between both roms.
